The Gotham awards are the main precursor for the Independent Spirit Awards, with big studio movies not being eligible here, but today they also serve as the official kickoff to the 2014 awards season, since its the first awards body to bestow any nominations. Here's the full list:

So, if there's anything interesting about these early noms, it tells us that Boyhood is undoubtedly the frontrunner in the indie world, which most people assumed would happen months ago. But some nice surprises are the lasting power of movies like Under the Skin and The Grand Budapest Hotel, which many assumed would be overlooked at the end of the year. And the snub of Foxcatcher, aside from the ensemble prize, may be telling as well, fueling the early rumors that that film might be too cold and offputting for people to embrace. But it's early days yet, and this particular group is mostly influential for the Spirits, like I said earlier. The Gothams are handed out on Monday, Dec 1st.
